  27  * Provides a class and two interfaces for the RMI registry.
  28  * A registry is a remote object that maps names to remote objects.  A
  29  * server registers its remote objects with the registry so that they can
  30  * be looked up.  When an object wants to invoke a method on a remote
  31  * object, it must first lookup the remote object using its name.  The
  32  * registry returns to the calling object a reference to the remote
  33  * object, using which a remote method can be invoked.
